I am on a smallish livery yard (15 boxes) and there is one person on the yard that I detest. This person has fallen out with two other liveries to the point that they do not speak at all. As far as I can work out it was all very petty. The other two liveries don't talk to him and keep out of persons way.
The problem is that this one person is incredibly petty, constantly talking about them and what they do with their horses, messes with their stuff so that they have to lock even their feed away, has put poo in their freshly mucked out stables... The list of ridiculous and petty things goes on but it's never proven it's said person!
At least 2 liveries have left because of this person, I have only been here for 6 months and I'm afraid I'm very two faced in that I talk to the person, but I can't stand them, I just don't want my things to go missing etc!
It is a lovely yard and I don't really want to leave (difficult anyway with 4 horses), I and others have spoken to the yard owner (he's yard owner but not manager in the sense that we are mostly left to get on with things) I've told him my feelings, and so has everyone else. The problem is that said person owes livery money, and yard owner is reluctant to give him notice when he owes money- this is despite me telling him that said person owes money on purpose so as not to get thrown off (person told me this!).
I am so sick of him bitching about the others, insulting other people on the yard for their decisions, pretending to be a know it all etc etc. It's wearing incredibly thin!
One of the other liveries has suggested we all go and put pressure on the YO to kick person off, stating that if he doesn't go then we will all look for somewhere else but I'm not sure how to go about things.
